Sweet - Winter is Here

Hello all bloggers and bloggetts,

Well it just had to happen and its even worse then Da'Bomba getting to be prez elect. It actually snowed here today (boo, crap, poop and ugh). At least that is what her hotness told me and I was still sleeping when the horrible event happened.

Of course this now signaled that we had to take all of our summer stuff off of the lawn (only 3 months late) and into the falling down shack on our property (technically "Grand" (ha) Av.).

Once this was done, I got the fun job of overdressing for the cold (38F, in Celsius that would be um minus 292C) and chainsawing the fallen tree on the property (peach tree side). Somehow I managed to do this fairly quickly and without any medical attention nor med evac being needed.

Hey, of a more important note, Gina Lollobrigida (who?, google her and take off the "SFW" filter) per the NY Times is now 81 years old. That would make me about "really" years old. They had a picture of her and for 81 she looks pretty good for being the same age as your grandmother, but then again grandma is looking a lot like a tennis ball left out in the rain all summer.

Which somehow brings me back to Winter. Iowa is not a real fun place to deal with in Winter. At least not Southeast Iowa (Montrose IA , Lee County to be exact). I've already gone ahead and bought my 4 new cheapo Korean made Kumo tires from TireRack.com. (RirerRack in Korean btw). Seeing how the existing Kumo's have the cord showing, and even with the Subaru Outback's (the 1st choice of gay women everywhere) AWD, I figured that death was a certainty with Lee's County's famed winter road service of zero effort. In fact, the Lee County's Dept of Snow Removal and Engineering (D-SNORE) motto is "If God put it there then God can F&*@!'in take it away!" Nice to see my $84 yearly property taxes at work.

So in a shorten way, I decided to buy new tires rather then have to be found dead and thawed at roadside next Spring.

Um, what else is happening? Let's see, a couple of random observations:

1) People in 1st class in airplanes are real jerks. I'm not sure if it's all of the traveling in coach/steerage they've had to endure before they can "upgrade" to 1st class from "last class" , but to a person (me excluded of course) they are just full of themselves. Also, it seems that a kind of Alpha male contest happens as soon as the plane stops to see who can be the 1st jerk off of the plane. Kinda odd.

2) at 110 miles per hour your gas mileage is only 9.5 mpg per the Subaru Outback's (the 1st choice of gay women everywhere) console mileage thingee that figures this stuff out

3) Hey a black guy, Lewis Hamilton won this year's F1 World Driving Championship. What next, a woman? God help us(me).

4) Writing in this blog takes away my time from her hotness, so I gotta go.


Later,
